How aspirin + esomeprazole works
This is a combination of two medicines : aspirin and esomeprazole. Aspirin is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with anti-platelet action. It works by preventing platelets from sticking together which decreases the formation of harmful blood clots. This lowers the chance of heart attack or stroke. Esomeprazole is a proton-pump inhibitor which reduces the amount of acid in the stomach and prevents damage to the stomach lining caused by aspirin.
